openEarly 2000s Anime Show Anime
I think it had a young boy and a girl who used to work at a restaurant (not sure), they had superhero robot suits that they changed into while going through these underground tunnels. They used to be launched into the air, ive tried searching for about three hours now. It was something similar to Mega Man in appearance.
openCartoon show from mid 2000's Anime
Tv show in mid 2000's where kids would go into a building and would then go into a different type of world as fantasy creatures. I think one of the creatures was like a cat warrior.
openAnime that aired on 4Kids Anime
The first episode had the protagonist looking for something to give his mom for her birthday/Mother's Day. He decides on getting her this jewelry(?) box he found in a shop, but comes home to find his mother missing and his house burning down.
He quickly finds out that he's either an alien that looks human or a human that can gain lion/tiger features. He's forced to join this group who fights people that can gain draconic features. They use scanners and cards to boost their abilities, and are possibly on a quest to find more?
openTraveling to Find Gems Anime
There was an anime pre- "Pokemon" the animation. About a guy early teens looking for gems and the gems would add to a mecha suit. The gems each had their own power, and the guy was traveling across the country to fight this bad guy. I don't know what happened at the end because I didn't see him fight the bad guy. Green was a big color in the show, and most people had dark brown hair.
openStarship Combat Anime Anime
Looking for an anime, starship combat.
The heroes planet was conquered, and there was just one warship and a princess fighting the good fight. To supply themselves, they turned their struggle for freedom into a reality show, though they were able to eventually negotiate the studio into broadcasting on a delay so their position and plans weren't constantly available to the enemy.
openShow in The Background Anime
My husband is trying to figure out what the cartoon is where, too often, in the background is another show or scene playing on T Vs. The scene always playing is an orange character "bonking" another character on the head. I believe he said the orange character would trick the other character each time. Again, this is going on on T Vs in the background of the real show.
openAn older movie a friend watched on VHS around the year 1999-2001 Anime
She remembers it was a cartoon her grandma would put on for her, we’ve been searching all sides of the internet and whoever sees this is our only hope G Onna add she grew up in Florida
So what she has remembered is The animation style was older looking, the movement of the cartoon was odd like a claymation movement (was not a clay animation) There was an old man who was short and he wore a hat He tried stealing/taking(it was an egg or crystal??) something from a girl child At some point the girl is in a building as the walls close in on her? I remember it was like an old abandoned stone building built hundreds of years ago. (Some shit you’d see in national treasure.) And they ran down the steps and someone dropped the item they were trying to steal. It may have been a jewel
If anyone has any idea or a guess please don’t hesitate
It isn’t The rescuers or Angels Egg

openRed Moon anime (Not the 11eyes anime) Anime
I'm trying to find an anime about a group of (I think)students that have to fight off monsters whenever a red moon appear. I don't remember much of it, but there is one part in an episode that stands out. The students are relaxing someplace when the moon appears. Some of the students go into some tomb like place where there is a door and two torches. I believe there were some murals or hieroglyphs saying that to get the door open they have to change the color of the flames from red to (I think)blue and green. They do this by putting something in both of the torches. I asked this question before and got the 11eyes anime for an answer. I watched it, and it was not this anime.

openAnimated "children" show about a love story. Anime
I have some very vague memory about this one animated show that was rerunning when I was a kid (around 2006 maybe?) I say rerun because I was in China, and it was one of the few shows actually dubbed for a Chinese kid's channel. Whoever made that decision had to be fired, because I remember the show being boring as hell and rarely ever watched it. All I can remember it's a love story set most likely in historical Europe, with a peasant girl with blonde hair fallen in love with a man of loyalty or great wealth. The man have black hair, and a younger brother with blonde hair who also likes the girl. The villain I think was a girl with black hair who is more within the "prince's" social circle. Another bad guy was a duke(maybe?) who I pretty sure had a beard, and stayed in his dungeon a lot, who also has a shadow that never matches his movement. There is also a girl from a circus who I think got kidnapped a lot. Finally the opening credit's ending has the "prince" and the blonde girl spinning and dancing in front of a pick/red background. Also the only episode I remember had a doctor who looked exactly like the "prince", and was hired by the duke for his evil plan of some sort. it's also the same episode where everyone took sick of a disease that makes they temporally go blind or something.
There was an anime that had a halfway antagonist I would say, that had very strong powers (I think it was something like with his mind he could break peoples bones or something or crush them I remember sometimes their bones break other times they hold their head and yell I think) but the more he uses them the more he decays or dies. I remember he is tall and thin, wears a black long coat, wears a grey or brown hat, and brown gloves. In one episode I also remember his gloves come off and his hands are black from his ability. I think the anime was about protecting this kid and training him because he also had abilities and the MC becomes friends with the antagonist and tries to help him in his goal of being forgotten. Also, I think they were all ninjas who went to a school (only the protagonist and his friend and teacher) and he was brought into a martial arts club to trained by his teacher and friend so that they could protect him from the antagonist and his friend who took care of the antagonist. If you know anything please let me know! Thank You!
